Where were you and what were you doing on 9/11?

I was a sophomore in high school and was in history class when I heard. School stopped for the whole day and parents were taking their kids out of class. It was really quiet that day in school and when the bells would ring no one would go to their next class. There was a lot of speculation of what happened. Staff Sgt.
